Latin America, Caribbean

Latin America & Caribbean region have emerged as potential growth market for India with significant complementarities and synergies in trade and business. The Indian Government has a renewed focus on LAC region with a ‘Focus LAC Strategy’ and expects higher economic engagement between the LAC region and India.

India’s trade with LAC in 2016-17 was $30 billion, of which export was $10.4 billion and imports $19.6 billion. The potential for trade is expected to be $100 billion by 2025.

Key drivers of growth in bilateral relations between India and LAC countries:
  • Both India and larger LAC economies have similar imperatives of inclusive growth and ‘complementarities’ of growth models
  • Growing bilateral investment, with over 100 Indian companies in LAC/ 40 Latin American companies in India
  • LAC economies increasingly looking beyond traditional partners as United States and China
